Florida fair-goers got stuck upside-down on a ride that malfunctioned at the state fair Friday in a “nightmare” situation that left them thankful to be alive.
The ride has no safety belts, instead relying on momentum that keeps riders pinned to their seats.Fair officials said the ride’s safety mechanism was triggered which caused it to slow down.The mom also shared a video she took while stuck high above the park grounds on the ride as she held onto her young son Noah.“I promise I’m going to be a good boy for the rest of my life,” Noah said in the heartbreaking video. “I promise everybody.
The boy then said he was happy his sisters are OK as workers send their carriage back up higher in order to keep the ride balanced with the number of people onboard. “I got you, son,” Chantelle assured her son. “As soon as those people get off, they can let us back down, OK? A couple more seconds.”
